The exercise reminded me a bit of what Virginia Vaughan has been doing in recording her last year on their family farm, including some 24 paintings in 24 hours. Also Myrna Wacknov has been doing some small portraits of one person on a large sheet of paper. The same person done many ways. One of her self portraits in painted in this manner was in the March Artist's magazine. <BR/>I've been using a light table to redraw one painting, then painting it different ways.<BR/>I really like the idea of recording the daily walk, especially now that spring is here.<BR/>Really enjoyed your site!Ceceliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16132398614175975739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-85672654474085122932008-02-19T07:55:00.000-05:002008-02-19T07:55:00.000-05:00Clare--What a great idea to write a short piece ab...Clare--<BR/>What a great idea to write a short piece about a daily walk. It wouldn't matter if you lived in the city or the country: everyone who takes a daily walk notices the littlest changes. <BR/><BR/>As Jared said, it would get us into the habit of picking up the pencil even if we didn't want to.James Gurneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01870848001990898499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-38494807579354595482008-02-19T05:00:00.000-05:002008-02-19T05:00:00.000-05:00I've been doing something similar for my daily wri...I've been doing something similar for my daily writing practice -- 30 words about the same quarter-mile walk round the park. It has made me take note of different lights and how the feel of the air varies.

From his use of color to his command of the brush, he is able to say so much with yet so little.<BR/><BR/>Thanks James, Charley, Craig, etc....for the kind comments on my Cougar Peak project. As Craig noted, I probably did take my project to an "ridiculously obsessive extreme", but it was a such an immense learning experience, exploring and learning about the different color temperatures you get throughout the hours, days, months, seasons.....as well as learning how to pick my brush up on days when I did not want to.Jared Shearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14879406947140189516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-18385937354023070312008-02-17T18:22:00.000-05:002008-02-17T18:22:00.000-05:00Thanks, Charley and Erik for those links to other ...Thanks, Charley and Erik for those links to other serial experiments (Kudos, Jared!), and thanks to everyone else for your comments.<BR/><BR/>Kevin, I'm not as prolific as you think. Unless I actually tell you I did a sketch that day, most of the art is culled from a shelf of sketchbooks and a big box of plein air studies. I do the posts after supper. I used to just write all this stuff in notebooks, but it's much more fun to blog the thoughts, thanks to all the wonderful feedback and ideas that you all have been sharing.James Gurneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01870848001990898499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-2767731821486489292008-02-17T16:39:00.000-05:002008-02-17T16:39:00.000-05:00I'm amazed at Nathan Fowkes' ability to manage his...I'm amazed at Nathan Fowkes' ability to manage his time in such a way as to complete those paintings.<BR/><BR/>James--<BR/><BR/>I would say that you are certainly prolific at painting and drawing.
